Married men on Tinder

80 replies

notthetinderswindler · 05/07/2022 14:20

I've been single for a while and signed up to various dating apps, not really relevant but just to give a bit of background.

Scrolling through Tinder and I came across the profile of a man I know who is married to a woman I am acquainted with and see occasionally. They have children and have been together a long time.

So my question is, do I somehow let her know that her husband on there presumably with the intention of being unfaithful? Having been lied to in the past many, many times by my ex, if I was in her situation I'd want to know. Or do I pretend I've never seen it and stay quiet?

My opinion of the man in question is probably clouding my judgment - he's generally a very dishonest person in business (fraud, tax evasion, etc.), manipulative and a liar. I do not like him.

I'm not sure if his wife stays with him because he provides them with a nice lifestyle but only manages to do so because of his shady behaviour. She might already know what he's like and turn a blind eye?

WWYD?

I wouldn’t say anything, they might have a open relationship or she might be happy for him to do it?

Are you for real?🤦‍♀️

Iris31 · 05/07/2022 14:32

I'd take screenshots of his tinder profile and send them to her OP. If she doesn't care well that's upto her but it's the right thing to do. I couldn't have this on my conscience

Don’t be so close minded here. We live in a modern world. Why can’t he fulfil his needs? Polygamy is on the rise and for good reason.

Are you a guy masquerading as a female or some kind of wind up? Unless it's an agreed polyamorous relationship sneaking off on Tinder is unacceptable behaviour. Get some standards!

I’m disgusted that you’d suggest that. It’s wildly misogynistic to imply that only men would have an open view on relationships.

Iris31 · 05/07/2022 14:49

You're chatting bollocks @Lonelygal22

PoshSpice2 · 05/07/2022 14:51

Mind your own business. It’s their relationship and not yours. As above posters said - could well be a polyamorous relationship, Your thought process is very old fashioned.

I’m giving you my opinion, as this thread asked for. Go get a cup of tea

Cryme · 05/07/2022 14:56

Been there and no one told me, imagine the years I've wasted on someone because people 'kept their noses out'.
Please tell them, at least they then have the knowledge to decide what they will and won't accept in their relationship.
Obviously one side believes they are in an open relationship, not always the case that both do and anyone that is can simply ignore your message or reply 'yes it's fine I know, but I appreciate you being a friend and looking out for me'.

GreenManalishi · 05/07/2022 14:56

I would definitely not get involved, whatever the reason he's on there. If it was a close friend absolutely, an acquaintance absolutely not worth inserting yourself into the situation.

SirenSays · 05/07/2022 14:56

I usually just screenshot and send to the wife. I don't get involved past that.

Usually? How many marriages are you out to wreck?

Cryme · 05/07/2022 15:00

@Lonelygal22 whose wrecking the marriage? THE MARRIED PERSON ON THE SITE not the person checking that the other is not being made an idiot of.

emmetgirl · 05/07/2022 15:06

@Iris31 exactly what I was going to suggest 👍

Cryme · 05/07/2022 15:10

@Lonelygal22 and @PoshSpice2 are tag teaming bollocks on a couple of threads

I find this accusation to be, quite frankly, insulting. Just because we are on the same page again and again doesn’t mean we are ‘tag teaming’.

I am quite serious, and maybe that is why I’ve been happily married for 32 years.

PoshSpice2 · 05/07/2022 15:14

‘Tag teaming’ this isn’t a school playground.

Are you on something?

Solihull1990 · 05/07/2022 15:14

I think screenshot and send and leave it at that. If the wife knows / there's an open relationship, no harm done. If there isn't, she's got the information she deserves to have.

On another note, let's all remember not to feed the trolls. They die without attention Daffodil

Holymole · 05/07/2022 15:14

I would be tempted to screen shot his profile and find a way of sending it anonymously so you don't get drawn in. She can do what she wants with the information.
